This press is the baby of the range, 18 inch and made from a 1903 antique seen here with Janet, it's new owner in her studio. I delivered it myself to Janet in Wellington and caught up with friends and family while I was there and took the long way home.Not a bad life...

ABOUT CLASSIC ETCHING PRESSES

I came out of Art School with two passions; print making and mural painting.I still paint murals of all kinds all over the place but after making my first press from my Grandmother's antique mangle from the family farm I became hooked on making etching presses from recycled antiques.Doesn't leave me much time for print making and I don't have a press of my own because they keep running away to new homes in other artist's studios. Is that not tragic? Still every press I make gets a test print and that will have to do me...
